Izzy Hyman explains 7 ways to hide a lav mic. The lav mic. is basically a small microphone that you can wear. Usually you have to wear the mic. exposed but Izzy Hyman shows ways to hide it. In the video he explains how to hide the mic. with a suit and tie, just a suit, and a t-shirt all using the same method. The method of hiding the mic in general is to first tie a loose knot in the chord of the mic., this makes its so the mic. picks up less backround noise. Next you attach some gapher tape to the chord of the mic. so when you attach it to clothing it wont stick. After that you fold the gapher tape into a triangle with the sticky side on the outside, you do this twice and stick it to the bottom tip of the the top part of the mic. just below the grate, this is so the mic. doesn't pick up any noise from your clothes or anything else for that matter. Then he just shows you how to attach it to different pieces of clothing. For example, to hide it when the person is wearing a t-shirt you just attach it to the inside of the collar. Izzy also explains that if the one who is wearing the mic. a female you can just attach it to the center strap of her bra.
This was a cool and very useful video and I will probably use this method next year in the video class. I really liked this video it wasn't boring so I was engaged the entire time watching it. The only problem I seemed to have with it was the fact that its just one set up applied in a bunch of different ways. Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on the video, I just think that it would've been nice to add a few more setups that is all. Overall very useful/helpful video.
Well that does it for this serious time! Hope you have all enjoyed and I will see you lovely faces later, peace!
FIRST!
